B&M shopper's funny photo blunder has everyone making the same joke

A B&M shopper's image of their recent purchase has been compared to a 'scene from the Wizard of Oz' by others online.

The funny photo blunder was shared to social media where it quickly attracted the attention of other shoppers who praised its good humour.

Aimée R. Higgins took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group on Facebook to share a snap of her new bargain purchase - a chest of drawers reduced to £18 from £45.

The social media page has become popular among shoppers who regularly share their latest bargains they have snapped up from popular high-street stores.

However, it wasn't the brilliant price that got people talking, but the curious placement of an extra pair of legs that looked like they didn't belong to the cabinet.

The placement of the legs left quite a few shoppers puzzled, as they began making references scenes from the the iconic Wizard of Oz film.

"Was the store in Kansas?", joked Klair Martin.

"It's like a scene from the wizard of oz!", said Samantha Bain Fez.

"Are you going to wear those magic pink swoosh trainers to get home...", commented Neil Bowden.

Jokes aside, quite a few shoppers admitted that they were puzzled by the placement of the legs and couldn't get their heads round them.

"Are you 10ft tall? This is messing with my head hahahahaha", asked Bekah Locherty.

"The legs are confusing me", commented Agnieszka Anna Suder.

Other shoppers couldn't contain their humour, as they flocked to the comments section with jokes of their own.

"I could do with some new legs absolute bargain", joked Lisa Jenkyns.

"Did you get the whole person for £18 or just the legs?", questioned Samantha Nicholson.

However, it turns out that there was no illusion, weird camera angle or free legs, just another person who had decided to crawl into the box before the photo was taken.

Aimée explained in the comments thread that her daughter decided to fit herself into the box, but decided to share the snap of the bargain anyways.

"She wouldn't get out of the box so I shared it anyway", she responded after one shopper praised the 'wittiness' of the post.

She added: "I was committed, unfortunately the child was just as committed to staying in the box."
